Recs if you like Ladies in Hating...

every struggled to find actual lesbian/sapphic books when at the library or bookstore? so did I!

bc of said struggle, I started to curate a personal list of books that either has lesbian MCs and/or featured a primary sapphic romance.

i haven't read all of these, but I do try my diligence in confirming that they meet the above perimeters, since many books claim to be sapphic when they're not. this is an ever updating list, only fiction for now!

in progress

Basically, a huge list of every book I ever heard features sapphic characters.

I have not read all of these, so I cannot be sure of the amount of the time on page of the sapphic characters or of the quality of the books.

Some of these I do not plan to read at all, since they are not my style. If you feel like a book doesn't belong here, let me know.

For my favs / read, check out my other lists & shelves.

Open to suggestions for more titles.

Don't shoot the messenger.

are all of those historical fiction? probably not. are all of those queer? well of course.

Historical fiction books with queer characters

All the lesbians books I can find. If you have any book you want me to add please comment ❤️

queer historical fiction! comment recs or books that should be added<3

romance books with reflective surface scenes where they watch themselves or each other 👀

PSA: the “dirty” in the title is not intended to have a negative connotation, but instead be a play on words; this is a safe space 🫂

theres a mirror joke here somewhere but i cant see it — apologies to vampires everywhere.

This is like literary sorbet, books that are simple, sweet, and pretty easy to digest when you want to turn your brain off, decompress after a big, intense book, or break out of a reading slump.

anyone else waiting for a sapphic bridgerton season? (books with tea parties, big dresses and/or general victorian vibes!) 💗

Stories that tell the tale of sapphic life and love throughout time

We need more rival lesbians!!!!!!!! Sapphic recommendations of any genre welcome 🫶🏻

queer historical romance with a heavy helping of regency romance especially since it seems to be the most populated 🫖👑🏳️‍🌈

Because we’re queer and we’ve always been here 🥹

These sapphic books come from all different genres, each one filling a past Sapphic September prompt plus several bonuses!! How many have you read?

Note: The Sapphic story in The Revanche Cycle tetralogy (Winter's Reach) continues in the Wisdom's Grave trilogy (Sworn To The Night), which also has the final HEA. However the two series can be read independently of each other.

A collection of well-written sapphic genre books where the "sapphicness" is more than just having a woman with a male love interest who happens to be bisexual. None of the books here have an f/m ending (unless there are multiple protagonists and at least one have an f/f relationship)

This will get updated in time since I don't want to recommend books I haven't read but I'll take requests if you want to give me any!

A collection of recommendations for Autumn

books that as far as I know are sapphic in some way, that have come out either last year, this year, or next year

General enemies to lovers romance books (I tried to stay away from romantasy) For the 2026 Bingo 🩷

A curated collection of mostly Regency romances where propriety is optional and virtue… negotiable. Expect rakish dukes, sharp-tongued heroines, scandalous encounters, and at least a few decisions that would make any proper chaperone faint...
